It's used as a fancy cursor-hider during "press a key" type things. Honestly, I was unsure how much processing power such a trick would use up. If it's really drastic, I could change it so the cursor goes to the status window (which should be hidden in Hugor, right? even though it'd still show in the old official 'terp).

OK, that makes sense. I forgot about the blinking cursor hack in Hugor.

I assume you mean RoodyLib. No, I think keeping it as-is is a good idea. The CPU load can be reduced in Hugor itself, as right now it does some unnecessary screen repaints that I can cut down on. Since there's no output from the game during the delay/getkey loop, getting rid of the repaints should reduce the CPU load.
